It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.&nbsp;So the sisters sent to him, saying, \u201cLord,&nbsp;he whom you love is ill.&#8221; But when Jesus heard it he said,&nbsp;\u201cThis illness does not lead to death. It is for&nbsp;the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now&nbsp;Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.&nbsp;So, when he heard that Lazarus&nbsp;was ill,&nbsp;he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Then after this he said to the disciples,&nbsp;\u201cLet us go to Judea again.&#8221; The disciples said to him,&nbsp;\u201cRabbi,&nbsp;the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?&#8221; Jesus answered,&nbsp;\u201cAre there not twelve hours in the day?&nbsp;If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But&nbsp;if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not&nbsp;in him.&#8221; After saying these things, he said to them,&nbsp;\u201cOur friend Lazarus&nbsp;has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.&#8221; The disciples said to him, \u201cLord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.\u201d&nbsp;Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.&nbsp;Then Jesus told them plainly,&nbsp;\u201cLazarus has died, and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.&#8221; So Thomas, called the Twin,&nbsp;said to his fellow disciples, \u201cLet us also go,&nbsp;that we may die with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I Am the Resurrection and the Life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb&nbsp;four days. Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles&nbsp;off, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary&nbsp;to console them concerning their brother.&nbsp;So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.&nbsp;Martha said to&nbsp;Jesus, \u201cLord,&nbsp;if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God,&nbsp;God will give you.&#8221; Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cYour brother will rise again.&#8221; Martha said to him, \u201cI know that he will rise again in&nbsp;the resurrection on the last day.&#8221; Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cI am the resurrection and&nbsp;the life.Whoever believes in me,&nbsp;though he die,&nbsp;yet shall he live,&nbsp;and everyone who lives and believes in me&nbsp;shall never die. Do you believe this?\u201d&nbsp;She said to him, \u201cYes, Lord;&nbsp;I believe that&nbsp;you are the Christ, the Son of God,&nbsp;who is coming into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jesus Weeps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private,&nbsp;\u201cThe Teacher is here and is calling for you.\u201d&nbsp;And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.&nbsp;Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.&nbsp;When the Jews&nbsp;who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.&nbsp;Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him,&nbsp;\u201cLord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.&#8221; When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he&nbsp;was deeply moved&nbsp;in his spirit and&nbsp;greatly troubled. And he said,&nbsp;\u201cWhere have you laid him?\u201d&nbsp;They said to him, \u201cLord, come and see.\u201d&nbsp;Jesus wept. So the Jews said, \u201cSee&nbsp;how he loved him!\u201d But some of them said, \u201cCould not he&nbsp;who opened the eyes of the blind man&nbsp;also have kept this man from dying?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jesus Raises Lazarus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Jesus,&nbsp;deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was&nbsp;a cave, and&nbsp;a stone lay against it. Jesus said,&nbsp;\u201cTake away the stone.\u201d&nbsp;Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, \u201cLord, by this time there will be an odor, for&nbsp;he has been dead four days.&#8221; Jesus said to her,&nbsp;\u201cDid I not tell you that if you believed you would see&nbsp;the glory of God?&#8221; So they took away the stone. And Jesus&nbsp;lifted up his eyes and said,&nbsp;\u201cFather, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this&nbsp;on account of the people standing around,&nbsp;that they may believe that you sent me.&#8221; When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice,&nbsp;\u201cLazarus, come out.&#8221; The man who had died came out,&nbsp;his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and&nbsp;his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them,&nbsp;\u201cUnbind him, and let him go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Plot to Kill Jesus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the Jews therefore,&nbsp;who had come with Mary and&nbsp;had seen what he did, believed in him,&nbsp;but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.&nbsp;So the chief priests and the Pharisees&nbsp;gathered&nbsp;the council and said,&nbsp;\u201cWhat are we to do? For this man performs many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and&nbsp;the Romans will come and take away both our&nbsp;place and our nation.\u201d But one of them,&nbsp;Caiaphas,&nbsp;who was high priest that year, said to them, \u201cYou know nothing at all. Nor do you understand that&nbsp;it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.\u201d&nbsp;He did not say this of his own accord, but&nbsp;being high priest that year&nbsp;he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,&nbsp;and&nbsp;not for the nation only, but also&nbsp;to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. So from that day on they&nbsp;made plans to put him to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus therefore&nbsp;no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now&nbsp;the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and&nbsp;many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover&nbsp;to purify themselves.&nbsp;They were looking for&nbsp;Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, \u201cWhat do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?\u201d&nbsp;Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2f2f2;font-size:12px\">Scripture quotations are from the ESV\u00ae Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version\u00ae), copyright \u00a9 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

The gap between what we expect and what actually happens is often called the &#8220;frustration gap.&#8221; The larger the gap, the greater our frustration. In today\u2019s reading, we encounter multiple accounts of the frustration gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disciples are frustrated that Jesus is taking them back to Judea where the Jews were seeking to stone Him (John 11:8). Why would He knowingly lead them back into danger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martha and Mary are frustrated as they cry, \u201cLord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died\u201d (v. 21, 32). Why would He let Lazarus die when He has the power to heal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pharisees are frustrated and threatened by Jesus, who challenges their power and control over the Jewish people (vv. 45-53, 55-57). If they knew the Law so well, why would Jesus correct them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet Jesus shows a different frustration as He is \u201cgreatly moved in his spirit and greatly troubled\u201d (v. 33). Is Jesus angry with them? Absolutely not! Instead, He reveals the divine compassion of the Father for suffering sinners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus came to redeem us of our worldly frustrations. He came to set the expectation straight that \u201cI have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world\u201d (John\u202c \u202d16\u202c:\u202d33\u202c). Jesus teaches us that our hope isn\u2019t found in <em>anything <\/em>this world offers.
